Pizza On The Grill

"This is pizza made on a gas grill. The results are great, and plenty of variations would work. The trick is to grill one side of the pizza dough first, then flip and add the toppings." It is also highly recommended to split a large pizza dough in half and work with the two smaller portions, making it easier to flip them over.

Ingredients:
1 ready made pizza crust (I cheated and used Bertucci's)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup tomato sauce
Fresh basil

Directions:
1. Defrost dough to room temperature. (I took it out of the freezer in the morning and let it defrost in the refrigerator until about an hour before cooking and it was fine.)

2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Once fully preheated, turn the heat down to low. (I actually added some heavy duty aluminum foil with holes in it to the grill and lightly oiled it. I was afraid that my dough would fall through the grate as it had with some of the reviewers, but after doing it, I’m doubting that that would actually happen with a thick enough dough.)

3. Roll out prepared pizza dough to a size that will fit your grill (or split the dough in half for two smaller pizzas). Place on grill for 5 minutes, or to desired doneness, and flip over. Now add the toppings.

4. Cover the grill and allow to cook over medium/low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on the pizzas, as they will burn very quickly. Remove from grill and add fresh basil.
